The highly effective enrichment of U(vi) on COF/GO was attributed to a huge void ratio and a variety of oxygen-containing functional groups. It could be used as a promising candidate for environmental decontamination and energy storage.

Graphite was oxidized to graphene oxide and activated by thionyl chloride, for further covalently linking three hydrazides with potential biological activity. The obtained materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared and Raman spectroscopies. The presence of various functional groups specific to graphene oxide (GO) functionalized with different hydrazides was confirmed by spectral data. The ratio between D- and G-bands, observed in Raman spectra, allowed for an evaluation of the disorder degree and the mean crystallite size of the samples. The micrographs highlighted that the samples lead to the occurrence of disorders, probably caused by the sp3 carbons, the formation of oxygen-containing functional groups in the basal planes, and by various structural defects. The new graphene oxide–hydrazide derivatives were tested for their antimicrobial and cytotoxicity activity. Their antimicrobial activity against planktonic and biofilm-embedded cells was inferior to that of free hydrazides, except for GO-3 against planktonic Escherichia coli and GO-2 against Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm, demonstrating that further optimization is needed to be able to exploit the huge potential of GO for developing potent antimicrobials.
